First of all startrekkie2012, 1000 points is not = $1... this is a free site, everything is free. If 1000 points = $1 you'd be able to get 100$ gift cards for 100k, but you can't, they cost almost 200k points. You cannot put a monetary value on Listia items, they are all free. You are not paying any of your own money for unless you're an idiot that buys points.
It is nothing free in here, look at the card prices and yes, everything has a monetary value, even it is not officially posted. You paid money for the items you're selling here, you're paying money to ship those items, so your points have a value and before giving me lessons how points are calculated here(I'm being selling here for almost 3 years and you're here for few months) take an item you paid 78,900 credits here on Listia back to Best buy and tell me how you're going to feel if you will get $40 for it. I remember buying gift cards from Listia store below their value and same were the items sold in their store, so I know better then you how the points are calculated.
No, you obviously have no clue about how this site works, or how to obtain points if you're spending anywhere near to $1-2 dollars per 1000 points. My wife makes over 100k points per month selling digital download recipes on this site. So your point is stupid.
Look at the rules that govern this site. It's all free, you can even let the buyers pay for shipping. So your point once again is stupid. You're a moron that clearly does not know how to sell items on Listia.
